Yes, there should be limits (42%) – "District judges are exactly that... judging issues for participants in that particular district. This is similar to Governor Dewine of Ohio making decisions that affect Michigan or all states; it should never happen. Serious issues involving the President of the United States, the highest office in the land, should come before the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land."
"I think it's reasonable to recognize there has been significant judicial overreach in the last decade. Now, admittedly, that has been driven by what I consider significant executive overreach, but two wrongs don't make a right. Ideally, we work out a way to enable judges to still address unlawful action, perhaps by requiring more than one judge to agree with the injunction (unlikely, given the way our judicial system functions) or requiring a higher bar by which the judge has to measure the desired injunction. I absolutely do NOT want to remove a district judge's ability to issue an injunction; especially now, that's a crucial part of the checks and balances built into our government."
No, there shouldn’t be limits (49%) – "If nothing else, these injunctions pause things so well-thought decisions can be made for all in our country. Protecting these judicial rights will ensure all states have this processing time no matter the view of each state's predominant political party."
"Presidents try to overreach and it is Constitutioally the courts job to restrain them until the case is finally decided. The judge is not stopping the policy permanently, only putting it on hold until the case is decided. This is necessary when a President is moving to upset the rule of law aided by the unwise Supreme Court decision giving the President immunity. This makes him feel entitled to rule like a king."
"It is wholly unreasonable to expect every individual whose birthright citizenship would be revoked to have the resources to fight it in court. Therefore, if there are limits placed on federal injunctions, it will allow for more injustice in this country, and it would affect those with the fewest resources to begin with the most. This would be yet another blow to our standing as a free country."
Unsure/other (9%) – "I’m not huge on politics, so some of this stuff goes over my head. But from how the nationwide injunctions are described in this article, it seems to me like it’s only right for judges to have the ability to limit implementation of federal policies while lower courts argue over their legality… But you can’t deny that the whole “favoritism” thing plays a role in this. Judges are humans, and humans have been known to be ruled by their emotions and individual ambitions from time to time."
